Tag: male breast reduction

Male breasts and puffy nipples can be very embarrassing for a man and has a negative effect on the overall self-confidence and self-esteem of the person. The person suffering from gynecomastia (excess tissue around the male breast area) is constantly worried about what to wear to avoid any visible bulges of the enlarged breasts making him over conscious about his body.

The best gynecomastia surgery ensures a proper and safe removal of the excess tissues around the male breast area. The tissues are extracted with a 3-4 mm suction tube through incisions made around the nipples or the armpits. This is a onetime surgery with long term effects and doesn’t need extra sessions. The cost of gynecomastia surgery is generally not very high, but this differs from city to city as well over different clinics and surgeons.

The recovery time from this surgery is generally 5-6 weeks however, the patient can resume normal life within a few days of bed rest. The gynecomastia surgeon usually calls for a few visits post the surgery to ensure the recovery is smooth and to check for any complications. It is important to check for any unusual developments such as complete numbness for weeks, puss secretions, excessive swelling and keep your gynecomastia surgeon well informed about the same.

During the recovery phase, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and refrain from excessive physical exercise or weight lifting for at least 6 weeks post-surgery. Once the body is fully recovered, the person has a well contoured body with a flatter chest and full of confidence.

Cosmetic surgery can help men to reduce the size and shape of their breasts if they have bigger breasts with an unpleasant contour and these breasts are the major obstacle for them in having a manly look with a flat and firm chest.

Abnormal growth of breasts is never appreciated for men. It changes the contour of the chest area and men will be humiliated to go shirtless due to odd appearance of the breasts. They experience a psychological setback due to this unusual phenomenon and cannot enjoy various activities such as swimming and other things that requires removing their shirt.

Male breast reduction surgerywould be designed by experienced surgeons following a thorough diagnosis of every patient. Most of the surgeons adapt liposuction procedure to remove fat deposits from breasts. This procedure is carried out after administering general anesthesia for the comfort of patient during the surgery. Effect of anesthesia takes the patient to deep sleep so that he would not experience any pain while taking cuts on the skin, removing fat and taking stitches on the skin by the end.

For liposuction process surgeons can take number of smaller incisions around areola. They use small hollow tubes known as cannula that are inserted through the incisions in the fat deposits. The cannula is then slightly moved in a to and fro motion to loosen the fat depositions in the breasts. Surgeons use a large syringe of a suction pump to take out the fat depositions through inserted cannula.

There are some other methods used for loosening the fat deposits such as laser rays and ultrasonic sound frequencies.

Cost of male breast reduction depends on amount of fat to be removed, procedure used for liposuction, experience and expertise of the surgeon, the location of his clinic, charges for administering anesthesia and some additional costs such as post-surgery medication prescribed for pain relief and healing.

Gynecomastia is a disorder of the endocrine system that creates a swelling of the male breast tissue. It can affect one or both breasts, and stems from testosterone and estrogen hormonal imbalances.

What causes Gynecomastia?

There are various factors and interactions that seem to trigger the development of Gynecomastia.

Obesity and Hormone changes in men can lead to Gynecomastia

Obesity is linked with excess body fat which can also accumulate in the chest area.

Testosterone is known as a ‘male’ hormone and estrogen as its female counterpart.

These hormones are found in all genders, but they need to coexist in an appropriate balance for the body to function within what is considered a ‘typical hormonal balance’ range for that particular gender (it is not an exact science however and there are many natural variations that occur in our society).

In fact, hormonal imbalances occur more frequently than we might be aware of or even able to measure.

Excess estrogen in males can also potentially lead to enlarged breasts.

This can happen at any age, especially during puberty, when hormones get fairly unpredictable as sexual maturity of the body progresses; and it can happen during later life either through side-effects of medications.

It can also occur in relation to later-life hormone decreases (androgen/testosterone deficiencies) that are also relatively common in some ageing men.

Illnesses can lead to enlarged male breasts

Some health conditions are known to be linked to, or even lead to, the development of gynecomastia. A few of these diseases are:

Obesity

Chromosonal disorders

Kidney failure

Tumors

Cirrhosis

Malnutrition

Hypogonadism

Hyperthyroidism

Medications can have side effects of increasing breast tissue on males or altering hormone levels of the body

Due to the chemical composition of some medicines, gynecomastia (www.bestgynecomastiaindia.com) can potentially be an unwanted effect of the drug (side effect or direct effect as it would not otherwise present).

Make sure to ask your Medical Team about the links between these medications and your male breast condition if you have Gynecomastia:

Steroids

Antibiotics

Heart medications

AIDS medication

Anti-androgens

Antidepressants

Ulcer medications

Drugs and alcohol are known to be linked with protruding breasts

Besides the many other very unpleasant and potentially life-threatening effects of drugs and alcohol, gynecomastia is also a risk of substance use.

Alcohol, which is regularly and widely consumed in Indian society and other countries, is linked with enlarged breasts on males. Alcohol is also known to lead to changes in hormone levels, as well as a higher BMI (Body Mass Index) and altered fat-to-muscle ratios.

Narcotics such as marijuana, amphetamine, methadone, and heroin have been known to lead to the development of enlarged male breasts in some cases.

The fact of the matter is almost 40% of the male population will experience extreme breast growth during some point in their lives. Sometimes the condition will resolve on its own, as hormones shift back into balance, but not always. In this case, the best option for correction may be a Male Breast Reduction.

While at first the surgery may seem intimidating, understanding the procedure can ease fears and make a Male Breast Reduction a viable, restorative choice. Before Surgery: In preparation for your Male Breast Reduction, go over your current medications with Dr. Kashyap, he will let you know which need to be stopped before surgery. Smoking can cause delayed wound healing, so should be stopped two weeks before the Male Breast Reduction, and not resumed until six weeks after.

The Surgical Procedure: The Male Breast Reduction is performed as an outpatient surgical procedure. Dr. Kashyap uses the Day Surgery Center at KAS Medical Center; located adjacent to our office suite. Performed under general anesthesia, Dr. Kashyap has a Triple American Board Certified surgeon in the surgical suite at all times. Doctor may perform Liposuction to remove excess fatty tissue and contour the chest.

If glandular tissue is present, as well, he will make an incision around the nipple, and excise unwanted skin and fat. The nipple is then repositioned to look natural and proportionate; then the breast sutured tight. Most scarring from a Male Breast Reduction will be concealed within the natural lines of the chest. Although some may be visible, scars usually fade well over time.

The Recovery Period: The recovery from a Male Breast Reduction should take between seven and ten days; although patients usually feel well enough to return to work in one week or less. Some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort may be experienced over the first few days, but appropriate mediations will be prescribed to keep you comfortable. The results from your Male Breast Reduction will be immediately apparent, but they will continue to improve over several weeks, as the swelling continues to subside.
